I appreciate how you always respond to your viewers' comments. It shows you care.

[@tashawoodmansee8118]

How fun! Glitter tip: I paint a salt/pepper shaker & store glitters in them. A dab of clear fingernail polish and sprinkle of glitter on the outside makes it easy to identify. A drill or icepick can increase hole size or use different container. Clear jars are great for odd bobs & bits & a recycled spice rack holds it all neatly out of the way! Happy Crafting!!

[@PaulaZF]

Very beautiful! I never would have suspected it was made from old CDs! It lots of ideas. Be well.

[@dorotheaweiler6373]

I didn't understand: Why do we have to cook the CD?

[@AnthonyNiemiec-es1yo]

Heating makes the CD plastic ,,,PLIABLE, Soft to cut, COLD would Crack an break into pieces ,,,,ONLY REASON ,water heated entire surface 😊

[@pinkpaprika8410]

Look at what remains in the pan afterwards…

[@KobaltKeva]

So it's cooked

[@therealityartist9057]

Think about it CDs are very hardened plastic and will shatter all over the place if you try cutting one so by boiling them first it's softing them making them pliable and easy to cut

[@DG77733]

[@mizm1186]

The title is very misleading! It makes it seem as if something unbelievable or fascinating is going to happen. Instead nothing happens and a sparkly craft was made. Just say "sun catcher made from old cds".

[@SheilaBenton-pp2jz]

They do this just so you will click on it and boost their page

[@BeeLucas-Buckley]

Looking at the residue I suspect it's to get the labels off the other side?

[@thedbcooperforum]

why boil?????

[@herpderp3131]

Blud thought this would be the 2nd coming of Jesus.

[@brentncindy9023]

You do realize they (ON PURPOSE) mislead the titles so people will watch. Unfortunately KZbin pays these people money now. So they all seem to beg for people to subscribe and like. THEN they started begging people to 'watch until the end' for MORE exciting info' (because that got them more money). NOW KZbin changed the algorithm for their $$ calculation to include comments. So now they are begging to like comment and subscribe. Some are trying to be slick about the commenting by asking the audience a question. "Tell me what you would do different in the comments below". (Then they never respond to any comments). It's getting kinda pitiful

[@rfarevalo]

Microwave a CD for 2 seconds. The resulting fractal design is beautiful.

[@govegan0424]

OMG. I might be high but I want to do this! 2 minutes, right? Got it!

[@idooard420]

@@govegan0424 DON'T DO IT FOR CHRIST'S SAKE

[@bustamango863]

You are right, my kitchen is now open plan and every window in my house now has a fractal design……my neighbour doesn’t share the same view about contemporary abstract art so luckily it only affected the side of his house that overlooks my kitchen.

[@user-if5ui6us5o]

Very pretty!!! Not sure why some get upset!!!!

[@larsfrosznielsen3536]

So beautiful reuse of old cds🤩

[@gesinegutberlet3940]

Wunderschön 🤩 ! Tolle Idee und dafür sage ich Danke 🙏

[@ekim1451]

What everybody wants to know is the purpose of the boiling process. Is it to soften to make easier cutting or sterilise the discs before making your creations. I like the outcone from your efforts 😊

[@chlorone]

on first look i would say boiling seems to get the printing off (the floating debris?) and also seems to soften the disc for cutting so they dont break

[@greengrendel]

@@chlorone Tried this, didn't work, even boiling again for longer. if the printing comes off, so does the foil layer, and it barely comes off.

[@oldvanguy]

@@greengrendel was it a blank or a commercial? Prolly work better with blanks.

[@christined4842]

Obviously to make it softer to be able to cut with scissors

[@ekim1451]

@@christined4842 the water would have to be boiling to soften these discs and they would cool when removed from the water making it impossible to cut with scissors. They wont retain their heat once out of water. Have you tried breaking or snapping a CD they are tough. The fact they are thin and flat helps the heat disperse. All hot or boiling water would do is buckle their shape and make the foil layer come off the disc so I think its less complicated. The only way you could cut these discs is with a hacksaw or a pair of Garden secatuers

[@sadewolfkitten]

Other than getting the labels off, what is the point of boiling them first?

[@ErickTiki]

was kinda of wondering that myself....maybe easier to cut without them shattering....a bit of text would help.

[@sandragriffiths9692]

They are easier to cut when soft😊

[@violetssm]

I've tried Sanding, sawing, cutting, snapping discs, always to end up with cracked and splintered fragments. Never thought of boiling them. These Shiny things should NOT go in the bin if you can think of another use. I do think ADDING EXTRA shiny sparkly stuff is sooo cute.

[@katiekat2270]

I was just about to ask why the boiling when I read your comment, that answered my question! :)

What is the reason for boiling them. I could understand if it made them easier to cut but it doesn't look like it. But it might be the reason.

Very pretty! I’m going to make this. 👍

[@karenhoward2983]

Totally Cool ! I have seen where people have made Chimes out of these for Outside in the Yard or Garden & added Gems, Sequins, Ribbons, etc. You could even hang in a Window & give as Gifts. Thank You. Take Care & God Bless You.✨❤️🌙⭐😃

[@usaturnuranus]

People talking about boiling to remove the label, but I've never seen a factory pressed CD or DVD that had a stick-on label, they are always screen printed. Maybe a home-made disc, but not a commercially manufactured version.

[@SnarlingMaiden]

This is very pretty.

[@argonaut3001]

Love it! Great for so many celebrations, kids' rooms etc. What was the light you used to show it off at the end? I'm guessing it would make pretty reflections on the walls etc... Thanks and keep enjoying! 😃

This is very cute. Do the cd’s have to remain warm while you cut them?

Good question.... that issue should be added to the video so people know if they have to do the cutting immediately or not.

What is the point of boiling the CD's first? To clean them? Also, there are special craft scissors made to cut hard plastic like CD's which makes the cutting a LOT easier. Nifty little idea to make a baby's hanging decoration or lighting in a window sill. Thanks for posting!

[@MuskratOutdoors]

I was wondering that too? I'm guessing it softens them so you can cut them?

[@CatherineSTodd]

@@MuskratOutdoors : good point. I've cut CD's with special scissors for plastic and it was really difficult, so I will try boiling them first.

How is that click bait? It was exactly what it said it was going to be.

[@guillaumesimonet7118]

yes but why boiling the CDs?

[@terfree1]

Why did you boil the CD's? Does that make them easier to cut?

[@xanderslawyer8864]

Did you see the stuff floating in the water? It's the print off of the cd.

[@TrillianaEM]

@@xanderslawyer8864 So if they don't have any print, you don't have to boil them at all, just cut. BTW, I remember something about putting them in water in a microwave, after couple of minutes (?) they'll get nice craquelures.

[@SuperCarmen57]

Wonderful, but with what scissors do you cut them, because I did not succeed ... is it a special scissors!?

[@user-or1ed4ru8b]

I like it
